When They Say Peace and Security …

For when they shall say, peace and security; then shall sudden destruction come upon them, as the pains upon her that is with child, and they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. For all you are the children of light, and children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore, let us not sleep, as others do; but let us watch, and be sober.

And a people with their leader that shall come, shall destroy the city and the sanctuary: and the end thereof shall be waste, and after the end of the war the appointed desolation. And he shall confirm the covenant with many, in one week: and in the half of the week the victim and the sacrifice shall fail: and there shall be in the temple the abomination of desolation: and the desolation shall continue even to the consummation, and to the end.

1/21/20 “The United States’s peace team – Jared Kushner, senior adviser to the president; Avi Berkowitz, special representative for international negotiation; and Brian Hook, special representative for Iran — is holding a series of meetings with Middle East officials and other relevant leaders to discuss a possible rollout of the US administration peace plan. The three are currently attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, where they are expected to stay until Wednesday, before traveling to Israel to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Blue and White leader Benny Gantz.Earlier this week, Berkowitz also met with Middle East officials in London to discuss the plan, The Jerusalem Post had learned. The sensitive talks are taking place amid growing speculations that the administration could introduce the deal in the upcoming days. While no decision has been made, it is likely that US President Donald Trump will decide whether to release the plan in the coming days in order to avoid making the announcement too close to Israel’s elections in March.” https://www.jpost.com/Middle-East/Kushner-Berkowitz-Hook-to-discuss-peace-plan-with-Middle-East-officials-614860

1/20/20 “In June 2018, 70 years after Britain quit its mandate in Palestine, Prince William became the first member of Britain’s royal family to pay a state visit to Israel. Less than two years later, his father – Prince Charles – is arriving Wednesday night for his first extended visit to attend the Fifth World Holocaust Forum marking 75 years since the Red Army’s liberation of Auschwitz … Seemingly just like that, visits by members of the royal family have come from something that Israel yearned for as a sign of international legitimacy (for so long the British royals traveled everywhere else in the region, but would not step foot here), to the new normal.” https://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Its-raining-royals-as-Israel-prepares-for-second-royal-visit-in-two-years-614852

I’ve always thought Daniel 8:25 was super interesting: “According to his will, and craft shall be successful in his hand: and his heart shall be puffed up, and in the abundance of all things he shall kill many: and he shall rise up against the prince of princes, and shall be broken without hand.” That’s the Douay-Rheims translation, which is a little tough to understand. For instance, what does “in the abundance of all things he shall kill many” mean? The King James version says “and by peace shall destroy many.” Other versions say “he shall destroy many in a time of peace.” I think it may be a some sort of combination of the two.

Is this “the” (false) “Peace” Plan that we’ve been waiting thousands of years to see? I don’t know. If it is … the ramifications of that are dire. I’m fairly confident of one thing, however: they’re going to need a war to sell it.
